Earth observation technology has provided highly useful information in global climate change research over the past few decades and greatly promoted its development, especially through providing biological, physical, and c
” –designed to improve our understanding of ice-ocean interaction and its impact on the interior ice sheet dynamics within the framework of the continuing changes in Antarctic climate, oceanic circulation, and ongoing ice flow changes. Central to achieving this goal will be: long-term continuous...
1. Introduction The East Greenland Current (EGC) provides a primary pathway of freshwater between the Arctic and North Atlantic (Haine et al., 2015). The freshening of the Arctic Ocean and the increase in ice-mass loss due to climate change on Greenland are additional sources of ...
In part, there is large uncertainty because future human behavior and climate policy is unknown. There also remains a debate about the physics that dominate important processes contributing to dynamic changes, particularly for outlet glaciers that connect to the ocean (Minchew et al., 2019; Pattyn...
Icebergs float on water because the underlying liquid water has a higher density than the iceberg. Liquid water itself has its highest density at 4°C—one of the so-called anomalies of water, i.e. properties of liquids ... Analytical Chemistry ...
Yes, Bernanke and Paulson did a perfectly fine job of lobbying Congress for help, etc., after the fact. But overall it was as if the Fed, at the wheel of a titanically-sized economy, had imprudently raced the economy through dangerous waters, ignoring the risks of icebergs so profoundly...
Most medical students choose to practice medicine after graduation. Few choose a career exclusively as researchers. The trend in the proportion of doctors who want to do research has been declining for several decades and has resulted in a recruitment pr
At just 1 year old, she is 5 feet 1 inch tall and weighs 15 pounds. She can hold 36 gallons of water for up to 4 1/2 hours. She has a detachable head but remains faceless. Her name is Marie, and no, this is not her online profile.
In theory, the same sea-ice models could be used for both research and operations, but in practice, differences in scientific and software requirements and computational and human resources complicate the matter. Although sea-ice modeling tools developed for climate studies and other research applicati...
Sea ice occurs in many forms that present different types of hazards, from solid, stationary shelves of landfast ice to large, brittle plates, to loose mixtures of smaller floes with slushy brash ice and icebergs. Critical elements of a physics-based sea-ice model framework include necessary, ...
